I've been out of work for about 18 months now, and nothing at all is making me want to get back into an office (if that's even a thing any more).
Since I had my first Clio, some 12 years ago, I've been into cleaning it 'properly' - no yellow sponges, leathers, or sloshing buckets of dirty water...
Few people mentioned yesterday that we haven't invaded North Weald for a while, so how about trying 19th May for a breakfast catch up ?
Would like to do one a month through the summer but lets get the first one out the way and see how we go.
Tags don't seem to work too often so apologies in...
Went here last year for a couple of ace weekend breakfast meets with #GenPub and also a CS meet last summer one evening which seemed popular..
Food's good, locations's fairly easy/central for most..

Wonder if we can get a monthly meet for the summer months going, see if we can get a few oldies out of the woodwork.
First Wednesday of the month... Maybe we can do a different place each time.. see how it goes.
Few of you have been here before for Saturday breakfast car meets they host...
Hi team.
Friend of mine owns many weird and wonderful cars, and inherited his village car show about a decade back. I've been for the last few years and it's a nice few hours looking at cool cars and bikes, with a BBQ and beer keg on tap donated by the village pub !
It's essentially on the...

Any more details, please let me know.
Was a good, if not slightly frustrating evening at Snett..
Someone dumped fluids through the first section on the sighters .. couple of red flags and a full paddock meant track time was a bit lacking and busy when it was green ! Still I think everyone from here got home in one piece.
Couple...

Sensible McGurkin-esque ride height ensued.
Front needs dropping another 5 mm but I think I'll leave it a week to settle properly first.
Also I scraped that sandy rain crap away from the other week this evening to...
Hi CS.
Long time lurker - first post. Here goes.
Can anyone tell me when the cambelt is due or what tyres to buy ? Also how many MPGs should I get ?
I've wanted a track car for a while - I've bought a yellow Clio.
It's a Clio and it's yellow in various shades. Here it is:

Hi team.
The BurbleBus has been hardened and readied for winter.
Thanks to the wind/storm we had 2 weeks ago, it's now carrying some battle scars... namely this fcuker..:

I've lost/sold/misplaced my Kestral Das6. Literally no idea where it is..
But I want to get another one - if the old one turns up, I'll sell it. Or keep it. Who knows.
Fancied a rotary for it's obvious benefits when polishing however it was pointed out that I couldn't use it for glazes...
